Res Strehle takes over overall management of the convergent Tages-Anzeiger editorial team

With this decision, the Tamedia Board of Directors is taking into account Res Strehle's successful work as Editor-in-Chief of the Tages-Anzeiger, his broad journalistic experience and his proven leadership skills, according to a press release. His deputy will be Peter Wälty, previously Editor-in-Chief of Newsnet. Markus Eisenhut, who previously co-managed the Tages-Anzeiger editorial team together with Res Strehle, will take over editorial management as a member of the editorial team. Michael Marti, currently deputy editor-in-chief of Newsnet, and Arthur Rutishauser, previously a member of the Tages-Anzeiger editorial team, will remain members of the editorial team. Andreas Dietrich, previously a member of the Tages-Anzeiger editorial board, will leave the newspaper. Together with the new editor-in-chief, Res Strehle will drive forward the development of the convergent Tages-Anzeiger editorial team over the next few months. The joint editorial team will combine the dossier knowledge of the newspaper editorial team with the high speed of the online editorial team. In this way, the Tages-Anzeiger aims to offer its readers high-quality information on all media channels.

Res Strehle took over as co-editor-in-chief of Switzerland's largest subscription daily newspaper in 2009. Together with Markus Eisenhut, he introduced a contemporary layout and a new newspaper architecture with four newspaper bundles. At the same time, the Tages-Anzeiger sharpened its editorial profile with a new journalistic concept and a focus on in-depth analyses, features and background reports. Before joining the Tages-Anzeiger, Res Strehle was editor-in-chief for six years from 2001 to 2007 and most recently also managing director of the magazine. He further developed the weekend supplement in journalistic terms and led it into the black for the first time in its history. Previously, the economist with a doctorate worked for Weltwoche, Bilanz and Facts, among others, and was one of the founders of the weekly newspaper WoZ in 1981. Res Strehle is the author of several books and has lectured at the University of St. Gallen, the School of Social Work in Zurich and the Media Training Center (MAZ) in Lucerne.

In the press release sent out on Monday, the Board of Directors and the Management Board of Tamedia thank Andreas Dietrich, Markus Eisenhut, Michael Marti, Arthur Rutishauser, Res Strehle and Peter Wälty for their successful work and wish Res Strehle and his team continued success.
